T i K A Biography
TiKA is an artist, creator, cultural producer, TV/Online personality, activist, and advocate for the empowerment of female artists and creators. TiKA makes an impression on everyone she encounters and her joy is infectious.
TiKA is a classically-trained musician and performance artist who has been a part of the music/art landscape in Toronto/NYC for well over a decade. She is widely known for her work in a diverse range of projects, from her breakthrough role in Trey Anthony’s "'da Kink in my Hair,” to frequent appearances on MTV’s “The Aftershow,” to TiKA’s own “The Known Unknown,” an interactive music showcase that introduced many of Canada’s current and upcoming talents to music/art industry and influencers. TiKA is also the force behind #Baregyal/ Gyalcast (listed in The Fader as the #1 Canadian DIY Media Collective You Should Know), the movement that is giving both space and voice to Women of Colour, specifically Black Women, to discuss, explore, care for and celebrate their lives and experiences, in an environment of safety, non-judgement and positivity.
Now TiKA’s love and passion for culture and music has led to the release of her first EP “Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid.” With features in Complex, Afropunk, Saint Heron, The Fader, CBC, The Source, among others, TiKA is receiving critical acclaim for her voice, her energy, her love. Her music.
In late 2015, TiKA spoke openly about her struggles with trauma & depression and created a body of work to encourage others going through the same. The “Carry On” EP was released in late 2016. "Carry On" serves as a spiritual soundscape for anyone going through a healing process. The unexpected offering garnered TiKA an amass of critical accolades from all over the world. The first single “OHMYGOD” is an 80’s inspired gospel record featuring international producer, Harrison and up and coming rapper/producer Clairmont The Second. The record garnered high numbers on Spotify and iTunes and continues to feed many spiritually.
TiKA’s debut full album + short film will be released in Spring of 2017. Aptly titled “Anywhere But Here,” it serves as a brilliant indication of her unique voice, as well as her distinctive resonance and personality as a developed artist. Completely produced by recent Redbull Montreal graduate + 23 year old multi-instrumentalist & musical phenomenon Casey MQ, the album is an 80’s inspired synth pop sound. “No matter what I am going through, I always want to convey love + light in my music. My lyrics are dark because my reality has been dark. My sound stays in the light. I want people to know that the light is always attainable.”
The vulnerable 8-track album is more of a score, with Casey MQ providing a rollercoaster ride of sounds cleverly mixed with TiKA’s raspy emotional vocals.
While her vocation as an ambassador and creator of music has been well established, her image and sound as a new artist is being unleashed to make a very durable impression in order to gracefully provide what this generation has been missing musically.
2017 will see the relaunch of the artistic side of TiKA.
